Lots has been going on the last 2 months. During the month of March the boys had several ear infections (Michael had two and Benjamin had one). Hopefully this is not a trend that will continue. On March 16th Benjamin started crawling. Michael still hasn’t (as of April 25th) fully figured it out but he gets around by rolling and scooting. Michael is much better at the verbal and fine motor skills than Benjamin although Benjamin is quickly catching up. Michael’s words are baba and mama. Michael is very good at picking up Cheerios and geting them in his mouth.

Benjamin ate dirt one day at daycare and Michael hid a rattle and took on the stroller ride outside. Hopefully this is not the start of a life of crime! Boys will be boys! They have also discovered at daycare that Michael will crawl for Cheerios.

Benjamin has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom and Michael has 3 teeth on the top and 3 on the bottom. In the last week they both have increased the amount of food they have been eating. They went from 5-6 6oz bottles a day to 5-6 8oz bottles. They also have 3 meals a day plus Cheerios to keep them occupied while we have dinner.

The boys made a trip to Daddy’s office today and were a hit with the normally crusty news types there.

Jon Schwantes, corporate director of news convergence, showed the boys what they looked like on television, asked Ben for advice with his NCAA March Madness brackets and gave Ben a crack at editing editor Ben Marrison’s Sunday column. Despite this, Daddy still had a job at the end of the day.
